Although I voted for "only useful sometimes", I wouldn't want them not to be there. I think it's a great feature. :bigthumb:
 
Thick!!!

I only voted sometimes,'cos being self taught I wasnt listening when I was informed something! Does that make me a lousy teacher or a bad student! mmm.

I voted very useful:angel: I study them, I memorize them, I trace the buggers in the system search and learn their ways:banana: When they rear their ugly heads in other anti spyware progs, I kill them with full knowlege of the consequences. Spybot S&D is the master ninja. May the force be with you!

I have also learned what S&D leaves alone and can guess why, because reg cure and xoftspy did a great job at dicing my system into ribbons (thank goodness for restore options).

It is a learning process and S&D and AVG have been the most informative professors...:bow::bow::wub::flowers:
 
very useful, sometimes

The thing about them is that the entries are so long, I can't always read the whole path. That is what makes them less useful.

I only use it sometimes, but i still consider the feature to be essential, as education is the key!

Honda :)
 
I like them, would like to see them updated more. A lot don't have anything and more barely have any info at all.
 
Yes, but they are only sometimes useful.

Not quite accurate, they're MORE than sometimes useful.

I read them to see where the narsties are and their names. I make notes of them and check to make sure there's no folders on my puter or leftover files.

I agree that they're not always useful as sometimes they are too long to be able to read. I learned to make the Spybot window smaller, drag it to the left and then click the right edge of the window to make it as long as possible.

You can also right-click in the window and "Copy full report to clipboard".
 
anyone else think that the tea timer is a resource hog? i stopped using that things years ago. as for spybot iut is unrivaled at what it does i gotta admit. ^^

I not sure if it just that some of the info is lacking due to translation or what but for the most part they are very useful.
 
What do you mean by "they have disappeared"? They are still available in the current version. Just hit one of the two blue arrows on the right to open the description tab.
 
I find them useful when I get the chance to view them as Spybot almost never catches a :spider: my system is well protected :2thumb:
